But if you belongs to either of the mentioned category then you will have the age relaxation according to it and if you satisfies it then you can apply for IBPS PO 2021 :-
- SC/ST – 5 years
- Other backward classes – 5 years
- PWD categories – 10 years

I have done B.Sc in hotel management so, can i seat for bank exams like SBI PO, SBI clerk, IBPS PO, IBPS clerk, RRB, etc.
Hello Aspirant,
Yes, you can. As far as bank exams(Probationary and Clerk posts) are concerned , any candidate in age group of 20-30 can sit for the exam if he/she has a valid undergraduate degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Based on your category reservation ,you will get age relaxation too which you can check in detail in the exam's eligibility section. Coming to RRB ,the following are the exams:
RRB Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) Exam
Under Non-Technical Popular Categories, there are many posts like:
Commercial Apprentice
Station Master
Goods Guard an dmany more.
Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist .
Senior Clerk Cum Typist Deg
RRB Junior Engineer (JE) Exam
RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) Exam
RRB Group D Exam/RRC Level 1 exam
So in railways , you can apply for non technical posts which require either graduation or 12th qualification. Technical posts will require technical degrees such as engineering as qualification ,so you may not be eligible for that. The average age limit for the various exams is at 18 minimum and about 32-33 years at maximum. Similar to bank exams , the age relaxation is provided to some reserved categories. Therefore , kindly go through the complete eligibility criteria for all posts to find out which is apt for your level of qualification.
All the best
Does ibps po/ sbi po and mens objective and descriptive exam happen in 1 day?
Hello Aspirant,
Both IBPS PO and SBI PO exams will have a descriptive section along with the objective section. The descriptive test will begin immediately after the objective section so yes it will happen on the same day ie., on the mains exam day. The descriptive section will have both essay writing and letter writing questions for which you will be given 30 minutes to complete . The total marks for this section in IBPS PO is 25 and in SBI PO it will be 50. Both the questions will be usually based on current affairs, government schemes and policies, latest news, ethical subjects and more.
All the best

I have valid ews during the filling up of form of ibps po in July month but it got expired in December and the documents verification is in feb. Will it effect my selection.
Hello Aspirant,
Yes of course it will create problem during document verification because at the time of document verification any exam whether it is IBPS PO or any other you have to produce the valid documents and if your EWS certificate is expired in December than it will not be considered as valid certificate in February '21 so what I would recommend you is to apply for new certificate and you can get your new EWS certificate before February '21. So you can produce your new and valid EWS certificate for document verification other wise you will be considered under Unreserved/ General category from which you will not get any advantage of reservation even after belonging to EWS category.
